Rooster Bush Automotive Reviews

  • Apr 15, 2015

I purchased/finainced a 2000 camry "LE" back in July 2014 through rooster bush automotive out of my home town in Lenoir, North Carolina. BIG MISTAKE! When I purchased the vehicle they had one guy intice me about the car, he left. Another guy from maintinance do the test drive, and a different guy drew up the sales paperwork and he left and went back to work with the police department he was nervous before the signing accured I believe his morality was in question thats why the behavior. Should have listened to my gut when it took weeks for the car to be "ready" they could have purposefully damaged the car that way I would come back to them to fix it. Basically, the car is worth up to 3500 dollars in good condition however, they sold me a wrecked car with oil containment issues, a broken sway bar, transmission slipping problems, rough idleing engine, dry rotted tires, bad valve cover gasket, the list goes on and on. There sales price was upwards of 7200 dollars! Alot of money for a veteran making his way through online school. Due to my ignorance of my first purchase of a vehicle i fell into there trap.

Basically since july of 2014 I have made 60 dollars a week payments in which there were some lulls in my payments sometimes a week, and sometimes up to a month but no longer than that due to the fact that the car is a lemon it was conterintuitive for me to always pay on time. At an interest rate of 28% they are claiming that I still owe over 6000 dollars even though ive paid upwards of 3200 dollars towards there dealership. Even though I have paid probably over what the car is worth hardly nothing has came off of what I owe. This in its self is enough to be fighting mad but they also are unwilling to rework a deal with me. Keep in mind I put a down payment of 1000 dollars and havent even had the car for a year. Thats not even the start. looking at the contract the paperwork isnt right they have it down as a CE model but the decal indidcates LE i guess to seem like its less of a piece of crap to the unsuspecting buyer. The longer I dont pay them for a wrecked, lemon the less I have paided off I get that. But, what I dont get is that they can pretty much sell the car at a rediculous price in which I will never pay off due to the rediculous interest rate and simple fact that I signed on the dotted line without investigating the vehicle properly. I understand that alot of the fault falls on me due to my impatience and negligence to investigate how they work and operate.

After the fact alot of people have told me that it is not a good idea to purchase a vehicle from them. Now I see why. Not only is the car not worth what they suggest in which there senoir sales rep told me to my face that it is, they are unwilling to renegotiate a contract or trade me out due to the fact that I havent always paid on time. Now I have the starter inhibitor placed on the car so that if i get behind even a small amount of time they can cut it off when they feel like it. So now my hands are completley tied with an outrageously priced, inept vehicle for modern traversing, with mechanical issues, as well as cosmetic inconsistences. What i mean by that is that there is overspay covering half of the rear windshield and paint on the rear passenger window. This is indicitive of a car that has been wrecked and carelessly repainted not to mention that the paint doesnt match. I have kept all of my receipts in which from july to december the interest rate wasnt factored in yet. Big red flag that someone is being had ie this guy. So when I thought i was starting to pay it off all of a sudden 500 dollars or more was deviously added onto what I owe. As you can tell this is some form of fiscal fowl play and has affected me finaincially and emotionally.

I feel like if I don't speak up someone else will make the same mistake. PLEASE don't buy a used car from them you will regret it even if you have no credit or bad credit there are other options out there. Please understand that they already have millions just from real estate and have been denied by GM their business due to the lack of keeping adequate amounts of vehicles. The Bush family do not need or deserve your money they are corrupt and greedy. They have been blinded by greed and put money over people. I know that this is how the majority of the world works but somehow we can fight such dealerships by speaking up and saying that what they are doing is wrong and people should be informed that they practice poor business. I plan on reported them to the better business bureau and hope a lawyer can help me recoup some of my losses. Rooster Bush is a complete and udder RIPOFF!!!
